Purely, one of the BEST rock songs of all time--husband and wife work well together,you can see the admiration they convey to each other here ,along with their fantastic band- a true legend in time..
I went to her concerts starting in 1981 and couldn't believe anyone could sound like that live. This beautiful woman ,who was only slightly over 5 foot tall in a black jumpsuit would take the stage and then this booming voice would come out. She would sing soft one moment with amazing vocal range and then hit you with this raspy rock voice.
I was a staunch head banger at the age of seventeen when this woman burst onto the scene. She held her own and rapidly gained my respect. Glad to know she's still belting it out. This one was always my favorite.
Pat- You're still beautiful. I feel like we've grown old together.. I still remember the first time I heard 'Heartbreaker' I was 10 and smitten. You go girl.. Love ya MG
Love this one. Brought a tear to my eye on the 17th. Thanks Pat. Your adorable.... and your voice still belts em out like you did 30 years ago.Simply amazing.
I still love you Pat---you are the best ever--you defined a generation--i will never forget---thanks for the timeless classics--still rockin in the 417
I grew up listing to her music but never realized she really put together such a highly talented band. Although I must confess being a drummer I think her drummer is insanely great!
great music , great voice , great style , to me the best female rock singer ever , nobody compares ,face it people singers like this will never come around no more ! thanks u tube for postin this video !! love you pat benatar rip ladies of rock.
My Favorite PB Song love this tune ! Classic 80's Rock at its best . Neil Just shreds this tune all to hell to! Kudos to Pat and Neil for rocking the masses to this day!
Pat isn't just a rocker. She is a bonified and recognized mezzo soprano. Fit for operatic singing. The woman is frickin' amazing. LOVE this song! By the way I'm 54, a year younger than Pat:)
I always loved Pat Benatar. They really rocked and what a voice she had. I like the guitar solo in this song as well. I should like to learn it. Awesome group man. There music had a distinctive rock feel to it, there's no mistaking it for country. They use a lot of up-beat (foot-up) chord changes which always creates a nice rock feel, hard driving rhythm and her screaming voice. I love it.
I remember as a kid in the 80's having a crush on her and rockin' to her music. Every time we would be at the beach I'd always hear her on the arcade stereo or on the juke box at pizza hut! LOL
I was a young boy in high school when her first LP came out. Right when the hormones were flowing, and I was smitten. Still am. She just oozes sex appeal, she wrote great songs, and that voice just left me in awe. Damn, DAMN she was hot!
Such a HUGELY under-rated guitarist. A producer and once collaborated with bignames such as Rick Derringer, Neil Giraldo has awesome technique and soul. His leads are searing and match the fiery vocals of Pat. Rock on Neil!
Exactly and her attitude! She was so sassy! Like don't mess with me!! lol I had alot of her music but have lost most of it through a divorce. So it is good to see it again like it was on MTV!
Often imitated never duplicated. There can never be another. Pat is and always will be the measuring stick for Woman of R&R. Can't wait to see her AGAIN at the end of August. Trivia: Does anyone know what the 2nd video ever played on MTV back in 1981 was? Hint: this little lady sang it!
Well for me the 80s was an amazing time! I had some of the best times of my life! Good to see that some people that are younger can appreciate the music from that era! Pat is still around but the last time I saw her it was awful only because it rained and it was a short acoustic set! Otherwise I am sure she would have rocked just like then!
I know. I'm a huge fan. I wish I was a bit older though so I could have experienced this music in its prime. Like, concerts and stuff. Pat Benatar has definately inspired me. =D
Greatest ass in Rock N Roll, argueably the best female rock vocalist of all time. And her band never got any credit. They were tight as hell. First concert I ever saw; saw them in 1979, I was in 8th grade :-) The Pier in NYC, Billy Squire was the opening act.
i met her and spyder two weeks ago! her through a book signing she's a total sweetie and beautiful in person! and spyder by accident saw this jeep goin near the stage passenger looked famliar it was him! he's a total FOX! in person hearing this song live is so awesome she nails it eveytime!
2:16 to 2:46 maybe the best vocal half a minute in rock/pop history. "So you put up your guard and you try to be hard, but your heart says try again." Sung with so much emotion, subtle but slamming.
I happened to had my ipod on shuffle and this song came on,I was ripping through the words and I had people staring at me on the freeway like I was some kind of lunatic!!!He,he,he....
Brings back some serious memories..Friday Night Videos, on NBC.. Pat is a true belter...her voice is like hitting a home run it just keeps going & going, flying higher & higher w/ speed. No sure if anyone else agrees but Pink could be the next Pat Benatar. When she really sings she can sail as well. open to any opinions........
I would have loved to work with her. What a voice ! My wife loves Pat Benatar. Great video. She rocks !! I would love to hear her voice in a band like Kansas. David Castagna
Benatar said in an interview that she wrote this song on a plane trip. The hum of the engines provided in background and you can hear it in the intro. She wrote the lyrics about her guitarist (and future husband) Neil Giraldo, and slipped them under his hotel room door as a note because she was still shy about her lyric skills. How cute is that! : )
Believe it or not, Pat and Neil the lead guitarist (who is called Spider) have been married over 25 years! They are an amazing rock and roll couple. I saw them in a small acoustic concert a couple of years ago on Mauai where they live. They are adorable together and both can still ROCK!
